Chameleon Boy Songtext
von Blue October

I change my color for you
I shed my coat with caution
I lack the beauty you display
See, here they are, the bruises
And some were self-inflicted
And some showed up along the way

So I nod my head
I′m ready for the world to see
The secret I kept here inside
The man you thought I'd be

Slipped into coma calm
The coma where I calm myself down
Here comes excuses
Why I let you down

Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn′t become?
Chameleon boy

Chameleon boy


So now we've come upon
The hardest thing I've ever done
It′s telling you that I′m a mess
What sort of mess I mean
Is self-destructive gasoline
The kind that strips you of your best

And while I play instead
The way that most would end up dead
You sleep alone at home
And wish that I were in our bed

With this, I'm telling you
My color changes back to blue
How do I ask you this?
Will you help me through?

Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn′t become?

Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
Chameleon boy

Chameleon boy


I try to think of all the people I looked up to
While growing up, who would I be?
Now the twisted part
Where did all my idols end up?
They′ve all passed away

Passed away

Stand by
It's the chameleon boy
Stand by
It′s the chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

I'm chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

I'm chameleon boy
